Ordeal Therapy

SUICIDE, ACCIDENT OR MURDER?

George, a renowned psychiatrist, is treating a cabinet minister for autoerotic asphyxia, a dangerous sexual deviation. The minister is found dead, attached to his apparatus. George and Julia, a patient who is blackmailing him, become suspects.

HIGH TREASON

In trying to protect George, the minister gives him a copy of data which, in an act of high treason, he has sent to Iran. This allows the rapid development of a nuclear bomb. But George becomes the target of MI5, MI6, and arms dealers, who believe he has a copy of the data, and will go to any lengths to get it.

SHARED ORDEALS

With the help of three ex-patients, including Julia, George tries to stop the data, now his life-insurance, falling into the wrong hands. Does facing many challenges and ordeals together create psychological benefits? Has George invented Ordeal Therapy?
